[cvsnt] Why does CVSNT not update some folders????

[Arvind Raman]

I too have seen a similar behaviour bugging my 
colleagues but as Jeff, did not really go behind
solving the problem.
Just wanted to ask though, is ur sandbox on a
networked
drive? Mine is. I was thinking if the networked drive
could be the cause of the problem. Atleast I have seen
discussions on the forum discouraging a sandbox on a
networked drive.
